Inclusivity in the Outdoors
California Outdoor Recreation Partnership, with support from Outdoor Alliance and Outdoor Industry Association, is pleased to host our Sacramento Summit for outdoor recreation policy. On September 9, hundreds of outdoor recreation enthusiasts will be participating in the 3rd annual Sacramento Summit. Businesses and organizations will be meeting for a virtual advocacy day to hear from state policymakers, legislators, and decision-makers. Summit participants will engage in and drive conversation to protect public lands and advocate for equitable access, environmental justice, climate resilience, and economic recovery.
Summit Objectives
• Advocate for equitable access, climate resiliency, and funding for outdoor recreation infrastructure.
• Discuss the role of investment in outdoor recreation infrastructure as a key tool for post-COVID economic recovery.
